Stand-in eunuch: I pamper the harem for the emperor

Chapter 602
Originally, Lu Hao hoped to gather them together and annihilate them, but now it had the opposite effect. They actually divided their forces to stop the imperial army.

"Now that the news of the ambush has been leaked, the ambush is no longer worth anything."

Lu Hao didn't take it to heart at all.

"Your Majesty, General Dong reports that the third main army of the Empire's Central Army has been prepared for war and can leave Yanjing City at any time and rush to the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun."

Wu Qingyu reported again.

"Very good! But let him not be in a hurry and wait for me to go."

Lu Hao said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, the five major northern tribe alliances have 70 troops. Did the Emperor just ask my brother to lead 1 people to destroy them?"

Dong Xiaowan interjected with a grimace.

Now Lu Hao only ordered the Empire's Third Army to prepare for war, which was the army of Dong Xiaowan's brother Dong Xiaojun.

This legion only has 1 people. If it enters the prairie and faces an army of 70 people, wouldn't it be like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth?

"Don't I want to go?"

Lu Hao shrugged, looking very relaxed.

"Your Majesty, can an army of 70 plus you defeat an army of [-]?"

Dong Xiaowan sneered.

"Concubine Dong, you don't know. I alone can handle an army of 50, but General Dong should be able to handle 20."

Lu Hao's face was filled with embarrassment.

"What? The emperor can deal with an army of 50 people? Just brag!"

Dong Xiaowan didn't believe him.

"Sister, since the emperor said that he can deal with an army of 50, then he can definitely do it. Aren't you ignorant of him and not sure that he will threaten to wipe out the five major tribes in the north in three months?"

Chen Yuhuan interrupted with a smile.

"Sister, I'm worried that he will use his brother as cannon fodder."

Dong Xiaowan pouted and rolled her eyes at Lu Hao.

"Concubine Dong, don't worry, I won't harm my uncle."

Lu Hao comforted him with a smile, turned around and left.

Wu Qingyu quickly followed and headed towards Zhengyang Palace together.

Most members of the cabinet are now handling government affairs in the side hall of Zhengyang Hall. Seeing the emperor coming in, they all bowed to him.

"Okay, everyone is busy with their own business. Let me take a look at the map."

Lu Hao stood directly in front of the military map.

"Your Majesty, the five major tribes in the north, Sikong Changfeng ambushes in Niguang Valley, the Twilight Lumber Camp in the middle is the Ximen Red Sun, and the Eagle's Nest Canyon to the west is Tuoba Zhiheng..."

Wu Qingyu pointed his finger on the map.

Lu Hao frowned when he looked at the map, because these were the three closest routes to the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun.

In other words, if the third main force of the Empire's Central Army wants to enter the Chimir Prairie, it can only take one of these three roads.

Of course, if you want the closest one, it's the Twilight Lumber Camp in the middle.

Lu Hao calculated the distance. A distance of more than 1000 kilometers would take more than [-] hours based on a horse running at [-] kilometers per hour.

Of course, the road to Yanyun Sixteenth Prefecture is rugged, and the estimated time required will be extended by several hours. Plus, taking a rest along the way, it will take several more hours.

If the enemy waits for work, the imperial army will definitely suffer heavy losses.

"Your Majesty, Baili Tiance and Huyan Muhua are sitting behind the Silver Moon Beach of the Wolan River. This is the location..."

Wu Qingyu pressed his fingers against the Wolan River.

"How many troops does Baili Tiance Huyan Muhua bring?"

Lu Hao asked in a deep voice.

"They are sitting in the rear, and their troops should number 30, and the number of the three armies ambushing is estimated to be no less than [-]."

Wu Qingyu responded in a deep voice.

"30 troops?"

Lu Hao's eyes suddenly lit up as he looked toward the Nudis Mountains to the east.

Judging from the map, if the fourth main army of the empire, led by Pei Yong, crosses the Nudis Mountains, it will be able to enter the Chimir Grassland.

After leaving the Nudis Mountains, heading west, you can reach the Silver Moon Beach of the Wolan River. The straight-line distance is only five hours at most.

If an army of 30 attacked Silver Moon Beach at night, Baili Tiance's [-] army would probably be all eaten up.

"Your Majesty, how are we going to pass through the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun now?" Wu Qingyu asked with a sad look on his face.

"How to pass? Of course I pass in a big way, can't I still fly over?"

Lu Hao joked with a smile.

"What? Swaggering... through?"

Wu Qingyu said in surprise.

Several other members of the imperial cabinet gathered around, obviously wanting to see how to break through the enemy's defense?
"Your Majesty, are you kidding me? The enemy has deployed heavy troops to ambush in the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun. If we want to pass by, a bloody battle will definitely break out!"

Wu Qingyu said puzzledly.

"Okay, this is not something you should worry about. You just need to grasp the enemy's movements."

Lu Hao smiled and patted his shoulder.

"Your Majesty, are you ready to go to war?"

Tantai Mingyue asked with a smile.

"I said it would take ten days, is it here so soon?"

Lu Hao seemed to have forgotten the time.

"Yes, today is the tenth day."

Tantai Mingyue responded with a smile.

"Okay, then I will set off tomorrow, but are the guns and ammunition I want ready?"

Lu Hao looked at Liu Rufeng and asked.

"Your Majesty, the guns and ammunition here were transported away by General Situ five days ago."

Imperial Master Liu Rufeng reported loudly.

"Five days ago? Isn't it going to be Yanjing City soon?"

Lu Hao was also shocked.

"Your Majesty, now that the official roads have been repaired and carriages are available for transportation, the speed has more than doubled. It originally took half a month, but now it is estimated to take seven or eight days."

Liu Rufeng responded.

"Now it seems that you have already calculated the time and are waiting for me to go."

Lu Hao said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, you have threatened to wipe out the five major tribes in the north. Can we, the ministers, not make preparations in advance?"

Liu Rufeng smiled.

"In this case, I will set off tomorrow morning. My dear friends, I will leave the imperial government affairs to you."

Lu Hao glanced around and said loudly.

"I will do my best!"

All cabinet members responded in unison.

After Lu Hao finished explaining, he took Wu Qingyu out of the palace.

Tonight, he promised to have dinner with Xia Wei's father. Although the meal was optional, since he agreed, he would definitely go to the banquet.

The two of them left the palace in a carriage. As soon as they arrived at the palace gate, Xia Wei came to pick him up in person, and Lu Hao had no choice but to get into her carriage.

"Weiwei, where should we eat?"

Lu Hao asked casually.

"To tell you the truth, my father has just built an extremely luxurious restaurant in the Imperial City, and I would like to ask you to name it."

Xia Wei finally revealed the purpose of her trip.

"What? Name it? Aren't you going to eat?"

Lu Hao looked bitter.

"Don't worry, as long as you choose a name, you will definitely have food. If you don't choose a good name, you won't be given food."

Xia Wei joked with a straight face.

"If you don't feed me, then I will eat you!"

Lu Hao stretched out his big hand and pulled her into his arms.

"No more...hehehe..."

Xia Wei struggled.
